READ the answer on this thread directly above your post.

No one has posted they have gotten it so just be patient.  Each state had to set up their own proceedure so it is unknown how long this will take.  Ask the sender of the email for information since TT/Intuit has nothing to do with it other than the funding of the settlement account.

Read the previous posts in this thread.

If you are a "Covered Consumer," as defined in the settlement agreement, you will receive your settlement automatically. You do not have to do anything to receive it. We don't know when the payments will be sent out. You will get a notice from the settlement administrator before you get the payment.

Here is the definition of "Covered Consumer."

"Covered Consumer" means any individual, or individuals if a joint return was filed, who in Tax Years 2016, 2017, or 2018 was (1) eligible to use an Intuit IRS Free File Product; (2) began his or her tax returns using a TurboTax Free Edition Product; (3) was informed that he or she was ineligible to use a TurboTax Free Edition Product; (4) subsequently paid to use a TurboTax Paid Product, and (5) had not used the Intuit IRS Free File Product in a previous tax year.

Most TurboTax users are not Covered Consumers.

You do not do anything.

The settlement agreement covers users who used TurboTax in 2016, 2017 or 2018.   If you are one of the affected users you will receive about $30 for each of those years in which your income was $34,000 or less and in which you started in the Free Edition and were upgraded to a paid version of the software.

You do not have to “sign up” or get on a list.   The payments will be sent out automatically to the affected users.   We do not know yet how soon the payments will be sent.

@CarreroJP2010   If you have used TT for eight years, you have had plenty of time to understand how the fees are structured.

Going forward, maybe you could use the IRS Free File site:
